Well for a start look at who the Time article DOES quote
Ken Bingman a teacher. Eugenie Scott of the NCSE and John West of the Discovery Institute.
How is that unbalanced ?
It's not as if the Time article quoted a lot of scientists opposed to ID and none of the tiny number for it. Scientific authority is not an issue. So on this complaint the DI is complaining that the article was not biased in their favour.
As for the other complaint there is no doubt that the ID movement has so far failed to come up with a valid alternative theory - or even any real scientific controversy. But there is no doubt that they spend a lot more on PR than research - nor is there any doubt that leading lights of the movement (like Johnson, Dembski and Wells) are religiously motivated.
